(A) Write The Continuity Equation For The Flow.: Av Av V V V V

This document contains calculations to determine ideal and actual flow rates through a pipe. It begins by using the continuity equation to calculate the velocity at section 2, which is then used in the Bernoulli equation to find the ideal velocity of 0.37 ft/s. Next, it calculates the Reynolds number to be 1990 and determines the discharge coefficient is 0.60 based on this. It then calculates the ideal volumetric flow rate as 476.28 ft3/min. Finally, it multiplies the ideal flow rate by the discharge coefficient of 0.60 to determine the actual volumetric flow rate is 285.77 ft3/min.
